First there was a garden, and everything was perfect. Humanity walked and lived in wholeness with God. But then sin entered the story and imperfect humans could no longer live in the perfect garden. Later, God formed a nation to be God’s people, and a temple was built to remind people of how good it was to live with God. But a curtain was hung to keep people from entering into the holiest part of the temple, where God was believed to dwell because imperfect people could still not walk and live in the presence of their perfect God. However, this is not the end of the story, and one day, a cross would change everything. Easter Teacher: Tyler Stibrich Join Damascus Road for a special Easter Sunday and the story of The Garden, the Curtain, and the Cross, and how we can walk and live in wholeness with God again.

The world tells us: “Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else.” A basic starting point for not being a terrible human being, but this view of immorality is horizontal – defined by disjointed relationships with others – rather than vertical – defined by a disjointed relationship with God. The Bible teaches us that immorality and sin are far more about our disjointed relationship with God that then bleeds into our relationships with others. In order to find freedom from sin in our lives and the destruction it causes, we need to understand what sin actually is – and cultivate a vision of the beauty of whole relationships with God and others. Week 4 of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Teacher: Devynn Brankel Join Damascus Road for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, as we explore the goodness of God and ugliness of sin.

Week 1 of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Teacher: Jacob Heinz Pop culture loves a good rebel, from Star Wars to Harry Potter. Rebels are seen as heroes instead of villains, and it’s no surprise from a country that was birthed from rebellion. Rebellion against evil or tyranny can be heroic but rebellion against a loving and gracious God is foolishness and destruction. What if we have so celebrated rebellion that we have blurred the distinction between righteous rebellion and devastating deviation from God’s good and beautiful design?

How does God want to meet and grow us in this Christmas season, when we remember him growing in a young teenager's womb and transforming the Divine Unseen to the Holy God-in-Flesh? Join us in anticipating the coming birth of our Savior! Week 4 of Growing Advent Teacher: Ryan Miller

How does God want to meet and grow us in this Christmas season, when we remember him growing in a young teenager's womb and transforming the Divine Unseen to the Holy God-in-Flesh? Join us in anticipating the coming birth of our Savior! Week 2 of Growing Advent Teacher: Megan Miller At the heart of the Christ story is a mystery. The paradox is Jesus being fully God and fully human – two seemingly contradictory truths existing in the same space and time. And that mystery was birthed out of another paradoxical mystery – one where the finite and Infinite wove together salvation in the belly of a Middle Eastern young woman. Your transformation throughout life will be a paradox. One truth is that you have agency to make decisions to change and transform the parts you wish. And yet there are other parts of your transformation that are like a virgin birth – in the way that you’re not in charge of any of it. It’s less about your mustering up the strength to accomplish something and more about your being open to the transformation God wants to do in you.

Join us in anticipation of our Savior being born! Week 1 of Growing Advent Teacher: Tyler Stibrich When Mary is visited by an angel, it kickstarts one of the most epic stories of human history. It would be awesome to have this kind of revelation in your life. But if we're honest, we're often actually afraid of revelation. In any divine annunciation, you receive revelation as a gift, but at the same time you receive notice that all you had planned is ending. Everything will change–most of all you. And the rub of revelation is that it’s a transformation you’re not in charge of. Revelation is a hard gift to receive. You must give up everything else to receive it– like finding a treasure in a field and selling everything you have so you can get that treasure. But then again, the one who is willing to accept the cost of revelation finds themselves in the deepest of stories. Stories that are so mysterious, divine, and human that we still tell them today. May you receive the light of divine annunciation in the flames of your best-laid plans.
